Solution

Answer:

Francisco de Almeida was followed by the Blue Water Policy. They wanted to create Portugal as a powerful nation in the maritime region under this strategy.

  • In 1505, ‘Francisco de Almeida’ was elected as the 1st Governor and Viceroy of India.
  • In 1509, in the place of Francesco de Almeida, who took control of Goa from the Sultan of Bijapur in 1510 AD, Albuquerque was succeeded by the Portuguese Governor.
  • Goa later became the headquarters of India’s Portuguese settlements.
  • Catching the coastal regions and the Navy’s dominance helped to build the Portuguese in India.
